Holiday Cancer

We talk with Kim Hamer, a cancer widow who is now changing the world through 100 Acts of Love: how to help your friend through crisis.

For the Friend:

  • Give the gift of no expectations: DO NOT EXPECT A RESPONSE and don’t let the cancerpath bear the emotional weight of the holidays.

  • Invite, even if you think they will say no.

  • Experiences mean more than stuff.

  • Acknowledge the situation.

  • Communicate.

  • Keep things normal.

For the Cancerpath:

  • Don’t bear any emotional weight.

  • Be present.

  • Be honest about what you need.

  • Don’t forecast: don’t expect anything from yourself.

  • Recovery takes longer than you think.
